Gametogenesis (Task 5) Flashcards
Cell types produced by mitosis
Two diploid daughter cells identical to parent cell each with two complete sets of chromosomes
In what cells does mitosis occur
Somatic Cells
Cell types produced by meiosis
Four haploid daughter cells which differ from parent cell and only have half the number of chromosomes (23)
In what cell does meiosis occur
Germ Cell
Stages of the cell cycle M phase
Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis (immediately after M phase)
Cell cycle stage where cell contents excluding chromosomes are duplicated
G1
Cell cycle stage where chromosomes are duplicated
S Phase
Cell cycle stage where cells and chromosomes are checked for errors and repairs made
G2
The stages which make up the interphase of the cell cycle
G1, S, G2
Phase in which primary oocyte will arrest
Prophase 1
Phase in which secondary oocyte will arrest
Metaphase 2
Process in which sperm are given motile shape
